List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Songs from the 1980s

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I have been working very hard on this list, writing articles for all the songs included (with the exception of "La Bamba" and "Don't Wanna Lose You"). I want to take this list to the FL status, so I'm asking for all the feedback possible.

Brianboulton comments:-

• Previous Top Latin Billboard listings, e.g. List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums from the 1990s, have all referred to albums, not songs. Some explanation for this is required in the lead. I note from the 1990s list that it was first published in July 1993; was there a previous listing of songs which was superseded by the album listings? Or did songs continue to be listed separately?
  • FIXED!
• The 1980s list starts at September 1986. Is this the start date for this listing (if so, this should be stated in the lead)?
  • FIXED!
• The number "thirty-three", if written out, requires a hyphen. Under WP:MOS, however, numerical values greater than 10 should be written numerically, i.e. as 33.
  • FIXED!
• "being the first one" should be "the first one being..."
  • FIXED!
• What is a "Spanish late singer"? If she has died, the correct form is "the late Spanish singer", but this still reads awkwardly. Unless her death is significant to the chart, I would simply delete "late"
  • FIXED!
• Linking of countries is not normally necessary, hence "Spanish", and later Australia, Switzerland, France and New Zealand should be delinked - I note you have not linked United States.
  • FIXED!
• "...who replaced Dúrcal at the top of the chart with a song performed by him," Awkward phrasing, suggest "...with his performance of his own song,..."
  • FIXED!
• ""De Mí Enamórate" by Daniela Romo," should say sung by Daniela Romo
  • FIXED!
• The phrase "peaked at number-one" seems a bit of a tautology; perhaps simply "reached" number-one?
  • FIXED!
• "which was awarded with the Grammy Award..." This is clumsy; try " which received the Grammy Award... etc"
  • FIXED!
• "The director choose..." → "...The director chose"
  • FIXED!
• "in United States" → "in the United States"
• FIXED!
• "becoming the longest running chart topper of the 80s" - clarify whether this refers just to this chart, or to all pop charts
  • FIXED!
• Wayward grammar: "This was her first release as a solo artist, without billing her as a part of the Miami Sound Machine." Only the first clause is relevant; you could either drop the second part, or reword it for example "independent from her part in the Miami Sound Machine."
  • FIXED!
• You mention "Ana Gabriel, who spent 14 weeks at the top with her single 'Ay Amor'." The list shows this song at the top for 12, not 14 weeks. See also her picture caption.
  • She had two separate runs at the top, 12 + 2 weeks with her single "Ay Amor". FIXED!

Can't see anything else. Good luck with it Brianboulton (talk) 11:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
